Excellent use of space. Three large people shared the room comfortably.

Good location and facilities, but no room service, I stayed here for 7 days, so the room was quite dirty. It may be good to stay 2 or 3 days.

The hotel had everything you need (toiletries, pj, kitchen, laundry) . Instructions were clear and organised. Bedroom small but enough for people with only carry on luggage. I really liked our permanency there.

Nice ottle apartment, the Manager Mr Hiroki is very helpful and friendly
Loong Chang, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room is a tight fit, there's no walking room but it's super convenient to stores, 7-11, the train, markets, and there are some lovely neighborhood walks. Be aware that there isn't an elevator (we were at the top of the very narrow 3 floor walk-up) but the room, and the tiny kitchenette is so sweet. The bathroom is great. Wonderful water pressure and the convenience that they not only provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, but also toothbrushes and toothpaste and some very cute pjs. I absolutely would return.
Jeanine, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel, the room was very clean and the location was perfect, right next to the yamanote line! It was small for 3 people, if you brought in mid sized luggage you’d probably have to open it on the bed but we can’t complain, everything else was amazing. Thank you!

Kalyani, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's a nice hotel with about a 5-7 minute walk from Takadanobaba Station. 7/11 about 1 minute away. Not a whole lot of dining options close, but still walkable. Check-in was a tad tricky at first, but everything was simple once it was done. Bear in mind, there are 3 good twin beds, but the room is tiny. Like, no place to put your suitcases. We crammed ours between the beds and did a lot of sideways walking in the room. If you can get a good price (hard to do around Shinjuku), then go for it.
Richard, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good things: It was a nice modern apartment with everything you need for a comfortable living. Beds very comfy, typical Japanese shower and toilet quite new, kitchenette very useful. Cute pijama included! Not that good: - The apartment is located under a train station, therefore constant train noises. If you are an early bird and late sleeper, it's fine, no trains during the night. - It was too tight for three persons, no space to put the luggage and we had to jump them all the time to move from one side to the other. - Second floor without a lift... For my 70year old mom and big luggages, not very nice. - Soap for laundry machine is not included. In general, it was fine at a good price.

This hotel is very difficult to find via Google Maps. I knew this after reading reviews, and still had some challenges finding it. We stood around with all our suitcases until a local who worked in the area noticed us and asked if we were looking for the U-Hotel. Without him, who knows how long before we found it. Some more clear directions/images to help with finding the hotel would be very helpful. We arrived after sunset, so this was more challenging in the dark. To call this a hotel is also a little misleading. There is no front desk, staff or housekeeping. Check in and check out is through a pretty slow tablet. Our room was on the third floor. It is worth noting that there is no elevator in this building. We had five suitcases, this was a bit of a challenge for us. The unit is quite small and typical for Tokyo, but certainly manageable. While no housekeeping, the unit was clean and we were provided with 9 larger towels and 9 face towels which was more than sufficient for our short stay. There is a laundry machine in the room which is nice, although there is no detergent. The location is superb because it is right next to Takadanobaba station, however because of its proximity, you will hear and even feel the rumble of the trains throughout the night.

Gut erreichbar im Zentrum von Tokyo. Man braucht nur 10-15min nach Shibuya und Shinjuku. Das Zimmer war recht klein aber gerade noch ausreichend. Es war etwas komisch, dass das Waschbecken direkt neben dem Bett war und nicht im Bad. Man kam gut mit den codes rein, welche sich aber auch nicht super sicher angefühlt haben.
